Ice Cream Sandwich

Bangkok, Thailand - When you’re unemployed in a foreign country, you feel like you can do things you wouldn’t normally do. In various stages of independence – summer camp, college, my own apartment – I was never tempted to eat ice cream for breakfast.  Oatmeal, toast and eggs were just fine for me.  For some reason, at 9 a.m. on a sunny morning in Bangkok it just seemed right.  After I mimed my order, the vendor sliced open an airy, brioche-like bun, deposited some sweet sticky rice in it and then scooped some coconut ice cream on top. This tasty little creation is one of those things where the sum is greater than its parts. While the bun, ice cream and rice weren’t exceptional on their own, put together they formed a sweet union.  Besides, having ice cream for breakfast is just plain fun.
